OS/2 Warp would seem a pretty good choice for that machine, if you can still 
find a copy. OS/2 ran very very well on an old 386 laptop I had with an 80MB 
hdd and 6MB RAM, so I see no reason why it shouldn't run well on that 
machine. I'd forget trying to get Linux on that thing; whilst it will work 
it'll be painfully slow with X11 and word processing.

IBM also did a "BonusPack" for OS/2 that had an office suite on it.

Regards,

George
